All the kids in the neighborhood did it, and I liked it a lot. I go to watch people who were generally pretty wealthy. They were businessmen and doctors. I would listen to them talking about things and see how they behaved with each other. It was like a fly on the wall at a meeting.The second job was at a shoe store. I constantly met people from all walks of life and the challenge was exciting. I'd start bringing them different kinds of shoes and get right down thereand put them on their feet. If they didn't like a certain shoe, I always tried to be thinking ahead to a pair they might like better. It was like stepping up to the plate in a baseball game. Every time someone walked into that store, I was going to bat and taking a swing. I never wanted to let a customer get out of that store without buying a pair of shoes to his satisfaction.This job helped teach me an important business lesson: You have to take risks in business. If you take a risk and fail, get up to bat and swing again.1.The author thinks what he has learned from his first job is ____B________.A. how to learn to like a jobB. how to talk and behave properlyC. how to become wealthyD. how to listen to people2.The phrase "people from all walks of life" means people ____D________.A. walking in different waysB. having different interests in lifeC. coming from different parts of the cityD. working in different occupations3.The author thinks his second job is _____A_______.A. challengingB. importantC. differentD. satisfying4.The author compares his second job to ____D________.A. a fly on the wall at a meetingB. stepping into a golf courseC. joining a baseball gameD. taking a bat to swing5.The business lesson the author gets from selling shoes is _____C_______.A. thinking ahead of the customersB. trying every possible way to satisfy a customerC. never be afraid of taking risksD. never let go anyone walking into the shopPassage BAn Extraordinary Change of DirectionMolly Wilson had been a dancer and a mother for many years when she decided to sail round the world to raise money for charity.As a child she had trained as a ballet dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member of a pop dance team.She got married, and after she had children she retired from show business to bring them up.

They had taken part in it, butthey had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to Australia. I wanted to do the wholeten-month journey.‖Before Molly left she did a lot of training, but it hadn’t prepared her for the worst weather which they experienced.

That was the worst time.‖By the end of October last year, she had raised more than £50,000 for charity.She says, ―Sometimes I ask myself, what did I do? How did I do it?
